I’m an 1/8 Irish and feel unqualified to pretend I’m Irish. If I want to get drunk, I don’t need to reinforce Irish stereotypes as an excuse to do it.
I don’t get St. Patty’s Day. I’m pretty sure most of the people that get drunk on it are college students and people who are barely to non-Irish. It’s not like most people actually give two shits about St. Patrick, they just make it another National Drinking Day. I bet they’d all suddenly want to celebrate Hannukah or The Haj if it involved drinking.
Not sure why this bothers me so much. Maybe it was the Asian dude at work wearing a lot of green today.
